20% chance of thunderstorms which goes up to 70% tomorrow, we had 13" of rain over the last three days so there is lots of flooding. I didn't leave the hill yesterday because most of the roads out were underwater and closed, snake creek should be back in it's banks again this morning.

Arthur Dent: Just wait a sodding minute! You want a question that goes with the answer for 42? Well, how about what's six times seven? Or how many Vogons does it take to change a lightbulb? Here's one! How many roads must a man walk down?
Lunkwill: Hey, that's not bad!
Arthur Dent: Fine. Fine, take it. Because my head is filled with questions and I can assure you no answer to any one of them has ever brought me one iota of happiness. Except for one. The one. The only question I've ever wanted an answer to - is she the one? The answer bloody well isn't forty-two, it's yes. Undoubtedly, unequivocally, unabashedly yes. And for one week, one week in my sad little blip of an existence, it made me happy.

Lunkwill: Rubbish, we don't want to be happy, we want to be famous!

yeah, but anything that Dent came up with would be schewed, as he was a descendent of telephone sanitizers and other "middle men" and when he pulled the question out of the bag, get got "What do you get when you multiply six by nine"
